| On Wednesday, May 13, at the Monmouth Boat Club in Red Bank, Preservation New Jersey (PNJ) announced its 2026 list of the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places in New Jersey, elevating a statewide call to protect the historic, cultural, architectural, and archaeological resources that define New Jersey’s identity and collective memory. More than 55 advocates gathered not simply to recognize endangered places, but to confront the growing reality that the systems designed to protect history are themselves increasingly at risk. Now in its 31st year, the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places program continues to spotlight the urgent threats facing New Jersey’s historic resources, from demolition and deferred maintenance to unchecked redevelopment pressures, climate impacts, disinvestment, and the lack of sustainable preservation funding. Yet the program also reinforces a broader truth: historic preservation is not about nostalgia. It is about safeguarding the physical places that tell the story of who we are, where we came from, and what communities choose to value for future generations. Read Full Story |

The Garden State Wine Growers Association (GSWGA) has announced the cancellation of Sips, Stars & Stripes: A NJ Wine Revolution, originally scheduled for May 30, 2026.
The decision comes in response to the unprecedented freeze events that impacted vineyards across New Jersey during April 2026. According to vineyard managers and growers throughout the state, prolonged overnight temperatures below freezing caused extensive and widespread damage to grapevines in nearly every wine-producing region of New Jersey.

The climate is different. The soil is different. The neighborhoods are different. And if you’re hiring someone to build or renovate your outdoor space, all of that matters a lot. Experienced Georgia deck builders don’t just show up with tools. They bring specific knowledge about this state that a contractor from somewhere else simply doesn’t have. Here’s why that gap is bigger than most homeowners realize.
